The history shown is very short. It lists only two distributions, one in each of the last two calendar years. The first had an ex-date of December 27, 2024, was paid on December 31, 2024 and came to $0.02 per share. The second, in December 2025, was $0.42 per share, 21 times the 2024 amount. With only two payments in the table, there is not enough history to describe a trend. The source counts a growth streak of one calendar year, based on the change from 2024 to 2025.

Both distributions went ex-distribution in the last week of December and were paid on December 31. No distribution with an ex-date in 2026 is listed so far. If the annual pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid at the end of the month.
